I have no solution, but some thoughts: * I don't know what behavior PCB will evince if your EZUSB footprint has a syntax error, but it might just die silently like this. Run PCB, and do "file -> load element data to buffer". See if the footprint can be read in and placed. Also, visually inspect the footprint for correctness using a text editor. * I wonder if the double // in your path is causing your problem? It shouldn't, but I am not certain gsch2pcb is rubust against stuff like this. * For more verbose spew, you can say "gsch2pcb -v -v". Maybe this will provide a clue. Stuart
